Classic manor house on the river Saone

Rare; a big manor house situated directly on the river Saone. Located in a village with a bakery and a restaurant, not far from Beaune and Chalon. The Voie Bleue passes in front of the house. 5 bedrooms, grand living room, views on the river, big garden with heated pool. Many possibilities.

This attractive home has the rare quality of having a river view from almost all windows. It is a house with many possible uses: family home, holiday home or B&B business. The house is located directly on the river with an access for boats just in front. The Voie Bleue, similar to the Voie Verte, is a cycle path along the river that attracts tourism, so this house could be great as a B&B (with the addition of extra bathrooms).

Entrance around the back through a wrought iron gate, to the left the outbuildings and to the right the house. Entrance to the house into a large hallway with guest toilet, sink and wardrobe. To the left the impressive living room of 60m2 with double height original oak ceiling, stone floors, a fire place and windows with a view on the river. From the living room oak stairs lead to the mezzanine and the first floor.

Behind the living room the kitchen that is large enough for a dining table. The kitchen is quite old but is still usable. From the living room access to a small study again with river view. To the right of the entrance a ground floor bedroom with fire place, oak beamed ceiling and river view. This bedroom has a ensuite bathroom with bath, shower, toilet and double sink, although it is very dated. Furthermore on the ground floor a utility room with the heat pump for the fairly recent geothermal central heating system.

The oak stairs from the living room lead to a large mezzanine with a second sitting area. From the mezzanine a hallway leads to a big games room of 34m2 and 4 cosy double bedrooms ranging in size from 10 to 14m2, each with a built in cupboard. Some of them could be joined to make larger rooms if required, and the playroom would make a great master bedroom. Furthermore on this floor a bathroom with shower, bath and sink and a separate toilet. From the games room is access to the high, open loft space.

On the ground floor; stone floors or tiles. On the first floor; carpet on the landing and parquet in the bedrooms.

Outside:

There is a small caretaker's house that needs renovating with a wine cellar under it, a rarity in this area. Furthermore a covered terrace, a wood store and a large garage/barn. The garden is planted with mature trees. It looks like a little park with its elevated tea gazebo and terrace with view on the river. It also has a heated pool of 12 by 6 m.

This truly is a house built for pleasure. It is in a general good condition with recent geothermal heating system and heat pump for the pool. It will need some work on the decor but it is a charming house on a exceptional location. River views and close to Beaune and Chalon with a restaurant on walking distance.

The furthermost department of Burgundy, with Chalon sur Saone as its main city, and Macon as its capital. Loved because of its Rivers and canals and the many cycle routes along them. A wide variety of landscpapes: The fertile Bresse plain to the east, the wine hills in the middle, and rolling country side with charollais cows to the west.
